Purpose of Research Background: Coral reef ecosystems are at risk world-wide from a

variety of anthropogenic and natural factors. Many countries have established marine protected areas where human activities such as fishing, tourisms, and harvesting of marine resources are limited. The effectiveness of marine protected areas varies widely, depending on the level of enforcement and protection.

• The Hol Chan Marine Reserve off Ambergris Caye, Belize, was established in 1987. The 7.8 km sq reserve includes coral reef, sea grass, and mangrove habitats. The park is divided into four zones. No fishing is allowed in Zone A which includes the coral reef. Both commercial and sport fishing are allowed in Zone B which covers the sea grass beds. Sport fishing is allowed in Zone C which includes the mangrove swamps, but commercial fishing is not allowed.

• The goal of this research project is to investigate the influence of the Hol Chan Marine Reserve on the fish community.
